Jump Rope

[V_for_Victoria]

help! bakit ganun... tuwing tumatalon ako eh sumasakit likod ko ( hindi ko naman mapinpoint kung [textspeak!] mali ko... pero alam ko may mali sa ginagawa ko eh

As sis miming suggested, try straightening your back, or improving your posture...not just while jumping, but all your waking hours. Baka hindi pa ganoon ka-developed ang back muscles mo.

@sis miming and sis V_for_Victoria, mukhang sa posture ko nga ang may problema... not during i jump... pero more on sa pag upo sa... medyo slouch nga ako... tumatalon naman kase ako ng naka stomach in, chest out... so sa tingin ko tama posture ko during i jump... kelangan ko lang siguro umpisahan na din itama ang mga pag upo upo ko at sa paglakad ko.

thanks sa inyo

sana mawala na din yung pananakit ng likod ko kapag matagal tagal na ako nakakatalon.

simula kase nung sumasakit likod ko eh hindi na ako maka straight na 50 pinakamarami ko 30 na lang... rest tapos 30 uli

am back here. yung rope kong binili 3 months ago yata nasa box pa rin lol . liit kasi ng room ko. sana makalipat na kami.
Any positive news on the users who started few months ago?

@ lalaineski: Ayos lang yung 30-rest-30-rest.... You can slowly increase your sets as you get better. If you want, after each set of 30, you can try these back exercises while you catch your breath: http://www.belletoday.com/exercise/back-exercises.asp

I used to do some strength training and stretching in between sets as well, but if kapos ako sa oras, hindi na.

well... tip for the newbies sa jumping rope.

pag bibili kayo ng jump rope make sure na weighed yung rope nyo.  meaning hindi yung mga flimsy light ropes na nabibili sa palengke na tag P50 or yung mura sa raon na tag P100; although sa raon may nakita din akong mga weighed ropes. 

I tried using the P100 light ropes pero it just frustrated me.  Sumasabit ang rope sa paa ko regarless kung gaano kaganda yung pag talon ko.

Here is a quote from page 1 

For me (akthung), the best jump rope would be leather rope attached to bearings, with wooden handles. Tobys used to sell these. The next would be that dense plastic rope, similar to the texture of rubber coating of electrical wires, also attached to bearings so it would turn fast during skipping. My driver uses old electrical cables which i have found fun to use too.

basically i dont like light ropes.

i was able to read an article regarding the correct length, i forgot how to determine the correct length, but if the rope is too long i just tie knots to shorten it.

If you want to know to correct length of the rope go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dtBfKsFEOo or http://www.wikihow.com/Jump-Rope

You may also go here for an alternative advice re: speed ropes (as opposed to weighed ropes): http://www.rossboxing.com/thegym/thegym26.htm

finally, be creative in your routines so wont bore easy. 

PS: Jump rope will help you lose weight but do remember that if you want great SHAPE you need to develop your muscles (a.k.a. body building).

dreamfairy07,

 i respectfully disagree that jumping rope will make one's legs big. Muscle development is due to weight/resistance training,  and even then girls will not develop muscles by just lifting weights simply because the female body is different than the male body. You will have to be lifting seriously heavy weights for a long time before you develop "big" muscles.

So what more when jumping rope, where you only use your own body weight.
Jumping rope will definitely not make one's "pata" big. Im living proof that you can actually be slimmer by using jumping rope. Its a great cardio workout for weight loss.

Another argument is boxers - jumping rope is a big part of their training but you don't see heavy muscled boxers - most of them have lean muscles due to the cardio effect of jumping rope.

Actually... if heavy protein diet ka kahit bigat lang ng katawan mo ang ginagamit mo lalaki mga muscles mo. 

My suggestion is discipline lang sa mga kinakain natin.  If you wanna lose weight and yet maintain a certain body tone or proportion i suggest a low calorie and medium protein diet. 

Disclaimer lang po:  I am not a dietitian so i suggest that you ask some one about diet menus.

i like this work out..
i do this in front of the tv.. that way hindi ko namamalayan yung time..
i jump rope hanggang kaya ko (around 100 counts)  then rest for about 30 sec.. then ibang style naman tapos rest ulit.. hanggang umabot siya ng 30 to 45 mins..
pag naaaliw sa tv umaabot ng 1 hour..
mas nabobored pa kong mag sit-ups kesa dito..:p

when i started, parang sobrang hirap talaga.. 15 mins lang tinatagal ko.. tapos 1 week na di ko siya ginawa dahil sa sakit ng binti ko.. nagkacramps pa siya at night..:p pero after naman nun, regular ko na siyang ginawa, okay naman na

[sleepy_me]

mga sis anong part ng body ang nadedevelop kapag magjump rope ka?

[divine dreamer]

^ sa kin arms, shoulders saka legs...

[sleepy_me]

^ thanks sis... consider din ba itong strength training? 

[divine dreamer]

^hindi siguro tulad ng paglift ng weights but nakakatone siya kasi ang nagsisilbing weights mo dito yung body weight mo mismo.. parang kickboxing 2-in-1 na, cardio na nakakatone pa..

[V_for_Victoria]

^ thanks sis... consider din ba itong strength training? 

No, it's a cardiovascular exercise.

[willow_24]

ma-try nga ito ulit. i need to lose weight na! 

[lilstar]

Ok nga ito, i used to do this dati then when I stopped hirap na ulit gawin.. kaya kailangan talaga dito disiplina araw-araw dapat para masanay ang katawan..

[V_for_Victoria]

^ Mahirap rin ang araw-araw...at least the way I do it, because I spend about an hour each day. 4x a week is what I go by.

[redpink]

sis paano ba i-adjust ang jumping rope kung mahaba talaga?

[lilstar]

Mejo i-wrap mo lang around your hand while holding the rope. Ganyan ang ginagawa ko e..
